The maintenace TDH's may be different from the courses that count toward advancement. However, advancement courses will always count toward maintenance. A maintenance TDH may be a lecture, training session, or a seminar in a technical field. If you obtain more than 12 TDH's in a year, a total of 6 may be carried over to use during the next year.
